Cavs to acquire Love in deal with Timberwolves – report

(Reuters) – The Cleveland Cavaliers have reached an agreement in principle to send first overall draft pick Andrew Wiggins and former top pick Anthony Bennett to the Minnesota Timberwolves for All-Star forward Kevin Love, according to a report.

Cleveland will also send a protected 2015 first-round pick to Minnesota as part of a trade that was reported on the National Basketball Association’s website yesterday and cited league sources from an earlier Yahoo! Sports report.

The addition of Love, who would team up with recently-signed four-time league most valuable player LeBron James, would further solidify the Cavaliers as a favourite to represent the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals.
